Note that if you prefer, you can use the `pass-filter' option to ppp in
lieu of using ipf on ppp0.  For example, my /etc/ppp/options has:

pass-filter '
        !(inbound && src net 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0) &&
        !(inbound && src net 127.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0)
        '

Although I can't speak for the relative performance of this and ipf.

I have IPF and IPNAT turned on in my kernel config, and have:

ipfilter=NO                                     # uses /etc/ipf.conf
ipnat=YES                                       # uses /etc/ipnat.conf
ipmon=YES               ipmon_flags="-s"        # syslog ipfilter
messages

in /etc/rc.conf.  Hope this helps...
